Abstract

Let B3(n){{B}_{3}}(n) denote the number of partition triples of nn where each partition is 3-core. With the help of generating function manipulations, we find several infinite families of arithmetic identities and congruences for B3(n){{B}_{3}}(n). Moreover, let ω(n)\omega (n) denote the number of representations of a nonnegative integer nn in the form x12+x22+x32+3y12+3y22+3y32x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+3y_{1}^{2}+3y_{2}^{2}+3y_{3}^{2} with x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,y3Z.{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},{{x}_{3}},{{y}_{1}},{{y}_{2}},{{y}_{3}}\in \mathbb{Z}. We find three arithmetic relations between B3(n){{B}_{3}}(n) and ω(n)\omega (n), such as ω(6n+5)=4B3(6n+4).\omega (6n+5)=4{{B}_{3}}(6n+4).
